H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State 2023 - Windows, Mac OS [Digital]

As a longtime user of TurboTax, I've always relied on its convenience and efficiency in handling my taxes. However, this year, I encountered a significant issue that left me frustrated and seeking alternatives. Despite being a loyal customer for years, I faced an unexpected obstacle when TurboTax refused to allow me to download my software, claiming that my activation code was already in use by another user. This issue not only disrupted my tax preparation process but also wasted valuable time as I attempted to resolve it. Regrettably, the support provided by TurboTax was subpar, failing to offer any meaningful solution even after spending over an hour on the phone. The lack of resolution and assistance only added to my frustration and left me questioning the reliability of the service. In my moment of need, H&R Block emerged as a saving grace. With their user-friendly interface, I swiftly transitioned to their platform and completed my taxes hassle-free. The seamless experience from H&R Block left a lasting impression, convincing me to make the switch permanently. While my history with TurboTax has been generally positive, this recent experience has highlighted the importance of reliable customer support and seamless functionality. Moving forward, I will continue to rely on H&R Block for my tax preparation needs, grateful for their dependable service and support when it mattered most.

Easy to use. Imports data from previous years. Would give 5 stars if it would get me out of paying taxes altogether : )

Pretty easy to set up. Wish they had the program to purchase at t h e store.

I purchased this product to do my 2023 taxes. My return could not be submitted electronically despite many attempts. Apparently, there was a server problem with H&R. They initially charged me to submit my return after each failed attempt so there were multiple holds by placed upon my card. Those were eventually cleared but held on my card for many days. Throughout the process, I sought telephone-based help from H&R more many times but after holding for over an hour, i would be disconnected. Likewise, many chat attempted were closed prior to receiving assistance. I never was able to submit my taxes through use of this product. I had to print paper returns and mail them in from the post office on tax day. The company offered me $20 off of next year’s product to compensate me for all of the hassle, but I have requested and am hoping to receive a refund.

Filing taxes is never fun. But this H&R Block software makes the job much easier, especially if you file electronically. Download the software, run the setup file, and have your tax documents ready. This software will walk you through every step. I won't say that it's fun to use - you have to do a LOT of reading to determine if various situations apply to you or not. But keep going, step by step, and you will eventually finish your federal return. Then, you enter your state, and it downloads the software for your state. Much of the state return is auto-filled from your federal return, making the state return easier. Again, you have to read through many tax scenarios that may not apply to you, but you will eventually reach the end. The software then checks for missing fields, which you can correct. Once both returns are verified, the software then gives you the option to print the returns, or file electronically. Filing the federal return electronically is free. Your state may charge a electronic filing fee (Maryland does), which can often be paid by credit card. Once all those tasks are done, you sign your returns electronically, and transmit. The status of your return will be sent to your email address, letting you know if your return was accepted. I won't say that it's fun, but this is as easy as filing your taxes gets.

H&R Block 2023 software was really easy to use. I've used it for the past 6 years. Everything is explained step-by-step. I'd rather pay less than $40.00 for the software, than $200.00 for a professional to do our taxes. We "e-filed" and got our returns in less than 2 weeks. : )

Very good product. Almost always accurate except for an occasional glitch; worth checking for accuracy. Very easy to use. Tools are there to easily fill out a tax form and seek a rebate or send payment.
